In enzymology a salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.172) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionUDP-glucose + salicyl alcohol UDP + salicinThus the two substrates of this enzyme are UDP-glucose and salicyl alcohol whereas its two products are UDP and salicin.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-glucose:salicyl-alcohol beta-D-glucosyltransferase.
